You must know that in the court, although the parties are often clearly divided, more often they are at odds with each other.

The various parties basically have me in you, and you in me. Sometimes it’s you today and me tomorrow. There are a lot of people jumping back and forth, and there are some swaying wall grass, which makes it even more chaotic.

Already.

Nowadays, many people are choosing to join a team, but they have not yet decided which side to take. Some people are still thinking about how to leave the original team and join a new one.

The people's hearts in the court are also not in order, but now that things have reached this point, there is no way to turn things around again.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes swept across all the courtiers present.

After this confrontation, the general situation in the court was clear.

Liu Yijing wanted to take down Zhao Nanxing of the Donglin Party, so he directly made a killing move on Zhao Nanxing first.

Zhu Youxiao took advantage of the situation and asked Zhao Nanxing to investigate the Ministry of Works. If he could find out, he would clean up the Ministry of Works and get a lot of money for himself, then Zhao Nanxing would not leave this position.

It's just that if Zhao Nanxing does this, he will offend a large number of people, even people from the Donglin Party. Therefore, it is not certain what choice Zhao Nanxing will make. Zhu Youxiao is also very curious, and he is ready to wait and see.

After this matter was over, Cui Chengxiu stood up.

Whether it is Liu Yijing or Wei Zhongxian who is behind Cui Chengxiu, Zhu Youxiao still does not know for the time being. However, this is an attack on the Donglin Party, which is indeed a fact.

For this matter, the Donglin Party launched Han Xu.

In order to show her support for Han Xu, Liu Yijing chose to support Han Xu, and the situation became complicated again.

It's hard to say whether Liu Yijing's move was to support Han Xu or to deceive Han Xu.

Will Han Xu choose to completely break with the Donglin Party and fall in favor of Liu Yijing? Or will he join forces with the Donglin Party to fight against Liu Yijing? This is currently unknown.

But no matter which choice Han Xu makes, Zhu Youxiao will not let him succeed easily.

If Han Xu and the Donglin Party broke completely, he would not stop it, and would just use Han Xu's hand to deal with a group of people. But if Han Xu fell to Liu Yijing, he would never allow it.

If Han Xu chooses to side with the Donglin Party, then he doesn't need to be a cabinet bachelor. He can just use Liu Yijing to clear him out and replace him with one of his own to enter the cabinet.

After these two incidents passed, the Donglin Party's counterattack came.

Zhu Youxiao also knew about their counterattack, and the Donglin Party directly took Fang Congzhe out, and they did not stop until the matter was serious, and directly launched a major rebellion case.

As a result, Liu Yijing pushed him along and gave the knife directly to Zhu Youxiao. If he wanted to cut, this knife was naturally sharp enough.

The whole story is roughly like this.

Although it seems simple, it is full of all kinds of battles of wits and intrigues, and you will be strangled if you are not careful.

And now that the market has begun to spin, no matter who it is, it will be easily crushed to death.

After taking a look at Yu Maoheng who was standing below and eager to try, Zhu Youxiao decided not to ask him any more.

Originally, if things failed to achieve what he wanted today, he would ask Yu Maoheng to step forward and promote the matter.

This is a fuse prepared by Zhu Youxiao to ignite it when he wants to use it.

But it seems that it is no longer needed. This fuse cannot be ignited too early.

Otherwise, if it explodes, the entire market will be blown up.

I can't let this market be destroyed so quickly. I still need it to spin up and form a larger whirlpool, drawing more people into it.

So Zhu Youxiao was not going to mention Yu Maoheng's name.

"Today's matters have almost been discussed. I am also a little tired, so let's stop here!" Zhu Youxiao's buttocks slightly left the throne, preparing to retreat from the court and leave.

The matter has been done, and we must run away as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao felt very happy, and it felt so exciting to run away after setting fire.

Just as Zhu Youxiao was preparing to retreat, a man suddenly stood up.

I saw this man taking a step forward, and it turned out to be Han Xu.

Han Xu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, sat back on the dragon chair, straightened up, and said expectantly: "If you have anything to do with Aiqing, it doesn't matter. I still look forward to Aiqing handling the case, so Aiqing

I can agree to anything."

Although Zhu Youxiao said this very politely, he was actually telling Han Xu to hurry up and investigate the case and ignore the messy things.

If you talk about the case, I will promise you; if you dare to talk about other things, I will definitely deal with you.

Han Xu didn't know whether he understood Zhu Youxiao's subtext, but continued to say: "I would like to take the prisoner to Fusi Prison in Jinyiwei North Town. Something like that happened in Dali Temple before, and these people are in Dongchang again

I was interrogated by Eunuch Wei, so I want to find a suitable place to imprison you, and Jinyiwei's prison is the most suitable."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Xu with a playful expression on his face, which was a bit interesting.

After hearing what Han Xu said, Liu Yijing, Sun Shenxing and others' faces became a little ugly.

They did not expect that Han Xu would actually do this. This wave of operations was completely beyond their expectations.

For the Donglin Party, sending people to Jinyiwei meant that Han Xu did not want to get involved with them.

For Liu Yijing, this meant that Han Xu did not want to take refuge in him.

Because in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the imperial prison of Jinyiwei, there was another place where you could choose to guard the imperial prisoners, and this place was the Ministry of Punishment.

The Ministry of Punishment is under the jurisdiction of the cabinet. For both Han Xu and Liu Yijing, that is their own territory.

Bringing criminals to the Criminal Department is naturally convenient and hassle-free.

But Han Xu did not choose to do this. The purpose was very simple, just to be wary of Liu Yijing.

Han Xu did not want Liu Yijing to interfere in this matter. To put it bluntly, Han Xu wanted to make the decision himself.

Zhu Youxiao found it interesting because he didn't expect Han Xu to do this.

Han Xu's statement means that he will not fall to any of them, but choose Zhu Youxiao as the emperor.

To put it bluntly, Han Xu is going to go it alone and prepare to establish a new branch.

Suddenly, a third force appeared in the court.

The civil service side is basically divided into three factions.

The old Donglin Party.

The forces headed by Liu Yijing.

In addition, Han Xu built the mountain himself.

The civil service system changed from two powers competing for hegemony to three kingdoms competing for hegemony.

The reason why Han Xu chose to speak out at this time is also very simple. He needed to get a ticket.

You must know that not everyone is qualified to participate in such a battle. If you want to participate, you need a ticket.

The person who issued this ticket is Zhu Youxiao. As long as this ticket is issued to you, you must participate if you want to participate, or if you don't want to participate.

Now Han Xu wants this ticket, he wants to participate.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Xu, with a gentle face and a smile, and said loudly: "I have just agreed to Aiqing. As long as Aiqing asks for it, I will agree to it."

"Let's do this. I will immediately send an order to Luo Sigong, the commander of Jin Yiwei, asking Jin Yiwei to cooperate with Aiqing. If there is anything, Aiqing can go to him directly. If Aiqing wants to investigate the case, she can also deploy Jinyiwei's manpower, and the matter will be easy to handle.

a lot of."

After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Han Xu's face suddenly showed joy.

He knew that his choice was right, and His Majesty gave him this ticket.

Not only did he give himself this ticket, but he also strengthened his own strength and assigned Jin Yiwei to him, just so that he would not be constrained when investigating the case.

There is no need to worry about running out of manpower, and there is no need to worry about the people below doing tricks.

This is the support His Majesty gives himself.

Han Xu quickly bowed and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying this, Han Xu stepped aside with no expression on his face, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Sun Shenxing's face looked very ugly. Originally, Sun Shenxing wanted to force Han Xu to take sides.

Sun Shenxing knew that Han Xu would not choose his side, because doing so would mean fighting against too many people, and would even lead to His Majesty's dissatisfaction. Han Xu would not do that.

Even if Han Xu is not afraid of this, he will still be worried about what will happen in the future. You must know that Han Xu and his side are not of the same mind. If he had listened to Han Xu earlier, he would not have ended up like this.

The current situation is that if Han Xu reconciles with himself, Han Xu will still be ostracized after the incident is over.

Han Xu will not do anything that is not beneficial. I forced him because I wanted him to take the blame. To put it bluntly, I wanted Han Xu to attack the people on my side, so that I would not have to clean up. From now on, the blame will be Han Xu.

That's right, it doesn't matter whether Han Xu falls to Liu Yijing or not.

But now, it is obvious that his plan was discovered by Han Xu. Liu Yijing probably also saw it, so Liu Yijing chose to cooperate with him.

But what neither of them expected was that Han Xu would choose the third path and fall out with both of them.

Since Han Xu established his own family, he was naturally not afraid of offending the Donglin Party members, nor was he afraid of offending Liu Yijing. Because he had found another backer, and that was His Majesty.

Now that His Majesty has given Han Xu support, he is no longer afraid. If His Majesty had not given him support, then he would probably have gone back and resigned.

He is truly a decisive person.
